Too many writers are using generative 'AI' to make their book covers, so I've written a guide on how to make your own cover for free or cheap without turning to a machine.
If you can't afford to pay an artist, you CAN make your own!
I hope this is a helpful overview that covers the basics and points to some free resources.
I annoyed my cat by writing this and not playing with her; you might find it useful?
This is a fantastic guide not only to the technical aspect of cover design but the aesthetic aspect as well!
This is GREAT STUFF. Highly recommend! Exactly the techniques I have used on covers in the past, and they look great!
Thank you, friend <3 It honestly means a lot that this thing I did when I was incredibly low on spoons has resonated and been found helpful by so many people.
